9.5 The review process<br />

This consists of three stages. Initially the text of the HiT is checked, reviewed<br />

and approved by the series editors of the <strong>Europe</strong>an Observatory. It is then<br />

sent <strong>for</strong> review to two independent academic experts, and their comments<br />

and amendments are incorporated into the text, and modifications are made<br />

accordingly. The text is then submitted to the relevant ministry of health, or<br />

appropriate authority, and policy-makers within those bodies are restricted to<br />

checking <strong>for</strong> factual errors within the HiT.<br />

9.6 About the authors<br />
